MPI Media Group and Dark Sky Films released the darkly comic thriller Bitter Feast on DVD on Jan. 4, 2011, for a suggested retail price of $24.95.

Writer/director Joe Maggio’s (Paper Covers Rock) latest independent film plays upon the current media and Internet obsession with celebrity chefs.

In Bitter Feast, notorious and influential food blogger J.T. Franks (Joshua Leonard, Hatchet) writes a particularly vicious review that doesn’t sit at all well with its subject, Peter Grey (James LeGros, Zodiac), a chef whose career is already on a downslide and might not survive this latest blow.

So, the temperamental, egotistical chef concocts an elaborate and deadly revenge scheme. Grey kidnaps Franks and chains him in a remote cabin in the woods, where he forces him to prepare deceptively simple dishes – from eggs over easy to medium-rare steak – before getting really nasty with him!
